John McCain Wins NH Republican Primary

I didn’t expect Fred to do well in New Hampshire. He’s putting his money in South Carolina. It’s obvious internal polling didn’t bode well for him there.

[OKIEDOC]

I just got back from my run to the store for a couple of Chelado Tall Boys.

However, I just do not understand how any FReeper could support a candidate that called him or her with a great deal of disdain an IGNORANT WHITE RACISTS for being against the sell out of America.

Oh well I guess some people could not even be puked off a gut wagon by words.

Well, he won a deep red WY, which Fred or Hunter, if you remember the hype, was supposed to win. Mitt has come in #2 now in totally different states, where the winner was not the same guy. He has quietly amassed the largest number of delegates, which, if he comes in #2 in the next two primaries (MI and SC), he will still have more delegates than the "winners" (even if Huck wins SC and McCain wins MI).

It's about delegates, and with this many viable candidates, it's a long, long race.

The real story of the evening, which no one is covering, is that Rue Paul got skunked, when some predicted he would take third!!!

actually Huck has the most delagates after NH.

[LS]

What’s the count?

[Gator113]

Yes indeed..Fox has become the same old garbage.

I am not sure I wouldn’t prefer a few Nukes, instead of watching my country die of a thousands cuts.

Now, after all the hype for Obammmma taking the state, it’s looking like Clinton is going to win after all. What a crazy game.

I am afraid that other than getting a President that we need, our country is going to get the one it deserves.

Sick, sick, sick.

I don’t care what someone ranks McCain, I only care what his actions have indicated in the past eight years. McCain has shown, over and over, that he holds conservatives, especially religious conservatives in disdain. His campaign finance bill was aimed at wiping out the influence of the grassroots Republican base. His gang of fourteen was aimed at countering the influence of the conservative base on a host of issues, from tax breaks to defense of marriage and immigration. McCain is vindictive and has been trying to damage the Bush legacy and stomp out the religious right at the same time. Unfortunately, secular conservatives suffer at the same time.

By the way, did you know that McCain was brought up on Congressional ethics charges in the seventies because he was accused of raping the wife of another POW? The charges were dismissed because he told the committee that the woman was drunk and came on to him. The only thing about that explanation is that the woman was and is a tea totaler, no alcohol or drugs, never.

[Ol' Sparky]

Can someone else explain that better.

Yes, Romney is liar and a flip-flopper with a liberal record. Intelligent voters see through all that.

McCain's appeal, hopefully, will be limited to New Hampshire where always has had a following.

[AirForceGeorge]

The HUGE news here is that McCain won amongst both independents and with a strong victory amongst Republicans! The GOP is thinking it through and knows there is only one hope to stop this socialist trainwreck and that’s John McCain.

How can our party turn away a war hero maverick who will win the War on Terror, end out of control government spending, balance the budget, and protect the 2nd and the unborn all while appealing to independents, re-uniting the Reagan coalition, and inspiring the nation.

Go John Go!!!

huck 31
romney 18
mcCain 4
Thompson 3
hunter 1

[NeoCaveman]

That’s our new “front runner”

[CharlesWayneCT]

Three things I think contributed to this.

First, never underestimate the power of the people to SAY they will vote for a minority, and then not do it.

Second, The polls showed Obama crushing Hillary, which probably led independents to decide to help McCain who the polls said was losing ground.

Third, When Hillary cried, some guys wrote about her being weak, and now the women are voting for her in droves, after voting for Obama in Iowa.

I wonder if Oprah is simply a lot more popular in Iowa than in New Hampshire?

[Dagnabitt]

Sad that NH “independents” and liberal Repubs have given a new lease on life to the walking bag of disease, dementia and disloyalty that is Juan McCain.

[big'ol_freeper]

Nice try. The really story is that Mitt was rejected in is back yard.

Whatever. I find it humorous that Freepers who support Hunter or Thompson---who have flopped miserably so far---turn their bile on Mitt or Huck, rather than ask why Hunter can't get above 1-2%; why Fred didn't do well in a deep red state (WY) where he should have cleaned up; and why he is sinking in SC, maybe out of 4th place.

So "all his money" has won Romney a helluva lot---much more than all Fred's and Hunter's and McCain's money put together so far.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

I guess I was surprised to hear the double digits report more than I am surprised he’s at 9%. But I don’t understand why he’s at 9% when Hunter and Thompson are at 1% each.

[Reagan Man]

>>>>>How can our party turn away a war hero maverick ...

Easy. McCain maybe a mavarick, a crazy mavarick. LOL

[TAdams8591]

Excellent points. Great post! : )

[LS]

No, the real story is that if he doesn't outright lead in delegates, he's right at the top even AFTER failing to "win in his own back yard."

But believe what you want. It sure doesn't make Fred or Hunter look any better that neither could pull much of anything in deep red WY; that Fred is battling for lower 4th place in SC; and that the Guliani states have yet to kick in.
